Updated WR projections for 2025 shape fantasy drafts, led by Nick Mariano's latest outlooks. The piece spotlights top producers and situational sleepers across the league, including Ja'Marr Chase, CeeDee Lamb, Justin Jefferson, Puka Nacua, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Rashee Rice, Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze, Ladd McConkey, Matthew Golden, Jakobi Meyers, and Ricky Pearsall. Odunze is framed for a sizable second-year leap with Chicago’s offense, helped by a sturdier line and new pass-catchers around Caleb Williams’ targets. Injury news and rankings updates accompany the projections, with DFS and season-long usage in mind.

Jordan Hancock’s Bills baptism has been a patient, learning experience. A fifth-round rookie, he’s converting from corner to safety as Buffalo builds depth in a cerebral secondary. In his first notable preseason moments, timing on a blitz was off and momentum was lost, underscoring the learning curve at a new position. A subsequent rep showed improved snap timing and better balance, delivering a more favorable result for Bills fans. Coverage moments were mixed; he shadowed some routes but didn’t erase them, while hustle and a late tackle showcased the motor Buffalo values in its defensive backs. Overall, Hancock looked hesitant at times and a touch out of sync, but not afraid to mix it up or hustle. The bigger takeaway: he’s toward the learning curve, not a finished product, yet the toolkit is there for a productive developmental path in a Bills defense that prioritizes coaching and scheme.
